We are looking for an experienced Portfolio Manager/Investment Manager to join an international family office and take responsibility for managing part of its public equity portfolio.
This is a hands-on investment role with direct access to the Principals and CFO. You will be involved not only in day-to-day portfolio management, but also in investment strategy and recommendations to the Investment Committee.
The family office currently operates from Paphos, Cyprus, with a London office planned for summer 2027. The position will ultimately relocate to London.
Responsibilities
- Manage a public equity portfolio within the family’s Strategic Asset Allocation.
- Make investment decisions and execute trades across equities, funds, mandates and thematic investments.
- Manage portfolio allocation, diversification and regular rebalancing.
- Execute options strategies through bank trading platforms.
- Select and monitor external investment managers.
- Analyse companies, financial statements, business models and market opportunities.
- Build and use financial models to support investment decisions.
- Monitor global markets, economic developments and industry trends.
- Review external research and investment analysis.
- Prepare investment recommendations and data for the Investment Committee.
- Contribute to the development of the family’s overall investment strategy.
- Monitor investment costs, bank fees and portfolio expenses.
Key Skills
- 3+ years’ professional investment experience, ideally with a stronger track record in public equities.
- Experience managing or analysing equity portfolios and making investment recommendations.
- Strong fundamental company analysis and financial modelling skills.
- Good understanding of financial statements and business models.
- Experience with Bloomberg and Refinitiv Eikon.
- Excellent Excel and PowerPoint skills.
- A degree in Economics, Finance, Mathematics or a related discipline.
- CFA Level 1–2 would be an advantage.
- Fluent in Russian and English.
- Strong analytical skills and excellent attention to detail.
- The confidence to make independent investment decisions and stand behind your judgement.
- A stable career history and evidence of building long-term relationships with employers.
- We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience in a family office, private bank, asset manager, investment boutique, hedge fund or similar investment environment.
- The family office is looking for someone who is genuinely interested in a long-term investment career within a private family-office environment. While several exceptions can be considered, frequent moves between employers without a clear rationale are unlikely to be suitable.
- Some overtime will occasionally be required, depending on workload and investment activity.
- Location flexibility – ideally: The role is initially based in Paphos, Cyprus, 5 days a week. The family office plans to open its London office in one year, at which point the position will move to London and become office-based there.
- For an exceptional candidate who is unable to relocate to Cyprus immediately, the family office may consider an interim hybrid arrangement from London, with regular travel to Cyprus — typically around one week per month — particularly when the Principal is in Cyprus and for Investment Committee meetings.
Job Advantages
- Competitive base salary and bonus potential.
- Direct exposure to the Principals and CFO.
- Genuine responsibility for a significant public equity portfolio.
- Involvement in investment strategy and Investment Committee decisions.
- Health insurance for Cyprus-based employees.
- Visa assistance for suitable candidates relocating to Cyprus.
- A professional and entrepreneurial Family Office working environment.
